I lived in Michigan all my life minus the past couple of years. Every couple of years you hear on the news about our triangle. For some reason it isn't discussed like the Bermuda Triangle. It's a real phenomenon. Ia the Triangle a hot bed for alien activity? Interesting to think about. Here are a few stories.

Former aviator Jay Gourley has since written a book called The Great Lakes Triangle (1977), which claims that the Great Lakes account for more unexplained disappearances per unit area than the Bermuda Triangle. This is no small comparison, considering that the Bermuda Triangle is 16 times larger than the Great Lakes area. Gourley says:Because of the irregular shape of the Great Lakes, pilots — aware of the dangers within — ordinarily circumnavigate the lakes, even when overflying might be shorter. It is almost impossible for even the slowest aircraft to be more than 20 minutes from land. Today's airliner can cross Lake Erie through the middle in ten minutes. Faster aircraft can do it in much less than four minutes. Over any point on any of the Great Lakes it is possible for the pilot of any jet airliner to shut down all his engines and literally glide to land. There are hundreds of ground-based, sea-based and air-based radios constantly monitoring emergency frequencies for any sign of trouble.Aware of the curious incidents over the Great Lakes, the Federal Aviation Administration several years ago instituted a special "Lake Reporting Service;" pilots on Great Lakes overflights make continuous reports to ground stations. A 10-minute delay in such a report automatically launches a search-and-rescue operation. This service has saved many lives that would have been lost to ordinary accidents, but the high incidence of inexplicable disasters has remained unaffected.Sourcewww.iisgcp.org/catalog/downlds_09/What%20is%20the%20Great%20Lakes%20Triangle.pdf

George R. DonnerOne well-known and often repeated case is that of Captain George R. Donner, who commanded the Great Lakes freighter O.S. McFarland. While on a journey back from Erie, Pennsylvania after picking up 9,800 tons of coal, the ship made course westward through the lakes. It was slow going due to late-spring ice floes, but the ship was making steady progress toward its destination, Port Washington, Wisconsin, when Donner disappeared.

On the night of April 28, 1937, the captain took to his cabin, with instructions to be awakened as the ship drew near to port. About three hours later, with Port Washington growing close, the second mate appeared at the captain's cabin, prepared to awake him, but found no one. He and the crew searched the ship, but the captain was nowhere to be seen. The mate reported that the cabin door was locked from the inside, adding to the mystery of the triangle. Reportedly, the McFarland was 30 mi (48 km) northwest of Ludington, Michigan at the time of Donner's disappearance; Ludington is reputed to be the nexus of the Lake Michigan Triangle.

The story was allegedly first reported in the 29 April 1937 edition of the Cleveland Press and is also mentioned in Dwight Boyer's Strange Adventures of the Great Lakes (1974).

[edit] Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 2501Main article: Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 2501Another disappearance took place on June 23, 1950, and involved a Northwest Airlines DC-4 aircraft carrying fifty-five passengers and three crew members. This flight 2501 had departed from New York City and was due to land at Minneapolis. The last radio contact recorded with the plane was that it was 3,500 ft (1,100 m) over Battle Creek, Michigan and was going to change its course to a northwesterly path over Lake Michigan, due to bad weather near Chicago. After this, the plane disappeared and could not be raised by radio. Considerable light debris, upholstery, and human body fragments were found floating on the surface, but divers were unable to locate the plane's wreckage.[1]

Once again, the aircraft was in the center of the supposed triangle when it disappeared.

There have been many UFO/USO reports from Lake Michigan below is a report from a passenger on Delta Airline Flight DL2220.

MUFON witness report – 3/2/10 (unedited): I was in Delta Airline flight DL2220 flying from Seattle WA to Detroit. I was looking through the window for most of the flight. At about 6:00am we were flying over a big city probably Milwaukee when I noticed glowing lights at a distance several miles ahead of us. I was suddenly amazed because the lights seemed brighter and bigger the all of the city light combined. It was the brightest light I had seen from a plane window I love sitting in a window seat and looking out. What puzzled me was that the lights looked like they were under water. I had the feeling that we were flying over water so I looked down to make sure. There were few clouds and I could see the ripples on the surface of the water, because the moon was full. I kept looking at the light as the plane got closer. I started getting apprehensive as the plane approached it. It didn’t seem man-made. When we finally got over it I was terrified and could look no more because I thought it was going to capture the plane. There was a gentleman sitting in the window seat in front of me. I am sure he saw it too. I think he was afraid too because he turn away too. I wanted to ask him about it but my connecting flight was leaving in a short time and I was traveling two others so I didn’t have the time to find him in the airport.

Now I’m going to try to give a detailed description of the lights. I noticed three lights close together under the surface of the water. The biggest one looked like a giant light bulb. It was several miles in diameter. It was yellowish. The one beside it was a little more the half the size and it was reddish. It was also huge several miles in diameter too. The third one was smaller and greenish. I will assume that it was less the 2 miles in diameter. They were all brighter then any light I have ever seen except the sun. I do not believe they were from this world.

There was another light at a distance the size of a city it was greenish but we didn’t flying near it. Unless you guys tell me that there are several gigantic under water projects going on in Lake Michigan I going to believe that was extra-terrestial.

NOTE: there is a history of strange sightings on and over Lake Michigan. As well, am undertermined cropping of structures has been recently discovered by radar on the bottom of the lake.

Wow I've never heard of this. My girlfriend is from that area and I'm gonna see what she thinks or has seen. She's not much of a believer but she has been on the lake many times so maybe she saw something of interest.

uforn: Thanks baz just watched not that impressed with the video enhancements, who are mace analysis team? I cant find anything on them theres nothing in the video description either. The analysis proves nothing if you ask me. Feb 24, 2015 14:28:00 GMT 1

uforn: Lazar is at the IUFOC at the min an answering Q&A's I believe, so Im waiting to see what comes out of that there should be some videos posted from the conference before long. Feb 24, 2015 14:33:38 GMT 1

barry: Yes, at the moment it seems to be 'wrong'. The photos I have seen seem to have been manufactured and could be made to make money, the jurys out at the moment (May the 5th is the day they release all the photos) Feb 24, 2015 16:39:59 GMT 1

uforn: Yes May 5th in Mexico being presented by well known promoter of Hoaxes Jaime Maussan Feb 24, 2015 16:49:09 GMT 1

uforn: Have you got a link to the photo's you've seen mate ? They might be the ones Gilles Fernandez showed of a mummy display for comparison as a possible explanation to the being in the Roswell slides.Feb 24, 2015 16:59:36 GMT 1*

uforn: Hmm, Darren Perks the fake UFO Investigator. I wouldn't believe anything from Perks mate, He was supposed to have been this big UFO Investigator when the documentary Conspiracy Road Trip came out from the BBC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ByWCFX4ZFeb 25, 2015 0:14:11 GMT 1*

uforn: No one had ever heard of him its believed he was set up by the BBC and he created a website in 2012 called UFO Shropshire http://www.ufoshropshire.co.uk/ to coincide with the documentary, however the site no longer exists.Feb 25, 2015 0:26:24 GMT 1*

barry: I got wind of this via another source, (email from a friend) who also thinks this is a hoax but it may have a bit of truth in it but they are using a proven hoaxer to get it ridaculed (double bluff) If I find out the 'real' bits I will give them to you Feb 25, 2015 13:32:37 GMT 1
